Well, the time has come. Checked in for our flight to Huntsville this morning. The weather looks like its gonna be pretty good Saturday and Sunday night. We are fishing from 5pm to 1am both nights. Thanks to Carey and the Alabama Forum, we know where the local eat, anxious to try the BBQ joint the guys recommended. Josh said they have been boating 50s regularly and that picture of JR with the 75 from a couple nights ago has me really stoked. most of all, I can't wait to see my grandsons reaction to getting on the water with a world class guide in a world class fishery.
Wish us luck fellas. gonna be an epic weekend.

Well fellas, night number one is in the books and it was a dud. We hit the water about 4:30 yesterday afternoon and fished until 1:00 this morning and all we could muster was a couple dinks. We covered so much water. Josh must have been sucking fumes in the gas tank for all the water we saw. We started just above the dam and kept moving Some places we marked fish and some places we didn't but whether we did or not, we couldn't get em to bite. Others on the water were having the same experience. Last night was a lock jaw night. Looks like they were practically jumpin in the boat back on Lewisville! Chris you had an epic weekend.
We're not done. The plan tonight is to go up river into the narrows. Into the lair of the flatheads. Hoping we can turn it around. Still even without the fish helping out we're having a great time. Fishing out of a true catfish battle ship. A SeaArk ProCat 240. BIG BOAT! Lots of room with a Suzuki 250 power plant that flat gets it. Great to have professionals with top of the line equipment. Just being out there at night is so much fun. B approves too. Wish us luck tonight guys. We will report again tomorrow, good bad or otherwise.
Tight lines and God Bless!

Sorry to hear this, but you are not alone. We started out early Saturday morning. The weather turned hot and humid, then it rained for almost two hours, then it turned hot and humid again. We were on the water from 6am until 4pm. Not a single fish. Talked to several others and the only boat that had caught anything had a single 8lb blue. We spent a lot of time (when it wasn't raining) just graphing and marking zilch. I don't know where the fish were hiding, but they were doing a good job of it. I couldn't even get a gar to bite, which is highly unusual. Hopefully Sunday night will go much better. If the "Narrows" are the islands above Scottsboro, that is a good place to ambush flat heads.

You never know what to expect when you hit the water for Blues. I bet y’all get em figured tonight Tim! We got lucky as all get out this weekend. I will send our luck your way buddy!! I said a little prayer to keep y’all safe and now i will ask God to bless y’all with some Toads. Glad y’all are having a good time and don’t forget to ask the lord to lay a few Toads in B’s lap before y’all hit the water. I’m pulling for y’all buddy!
